Why do people complain that religious people have no sense of humor?
Everyone claims that Christians have no sense of humor, but notice how few atheists find it funny when a religious person makes a joke (maybe the pun was just too darn subtle for some people):

Now, maybe you will realize how could something that seems funny to you could actually seem offensive to someone else.
Hey "serf", you didn't see a pun? Why not just admit that you don't know the multiple meanings of the word "gay" because your vocabulary is limited?
To those who thought that it was "thinly veiled hostility", or just not funny, why are you not honest enough to admit that you didn't get it? Not everyone is intellegent; there's no shame in it.

I see your point of view but that the way people have always been. people who make joke's on others and when others make jokes on them they can not except the joke so might as will not either joke at all. For me God is my Religion , God is Holy, and God word is good So Atheists be aware The last laugh is mine always, for all the joke's are on you.

Ut uh, an individual bought up at the unsuitable aspect of the rock. I haven't any criticism whatever approximately any person insulting Christian perspectives. Everyone has to sail their possess send. Don't feel in God? Then do not feel in God; wanna be homosexual? Go be homosexual. Wanna be a Buddhist? Be a Buddhist. As a Christian, and having talents of His Word, I comprehend it isn't required of me to evangelise, beg, or plead you to delight please please shop your possess ***. As a long way as considering there may be a few style of tremendous discrimination factor happening - I do not even deliver it any suggestion - this Nation is Christian-majority. All religions have the proper to train and worship as they want, and I have had household who've shed blood at the battlefield to guarantee the ones freedoms. And as each person has those rights, so do Christians, and so long as no one makes an attempt to assault God/Christ, or oppresses our expression of our ideals, all is cool. If any person needs to assault Christian rights, then they might be greater off taking a cub from a mama grizzley endure. It would possibly not wash; for this reason I do not even suppose of it. So, in brief, you are unsuitable - you do your factor, and do not screw round with God, and all is peachy. If you can not reside with that, pass someplace wherein you consider they're reasonable, like Somalia. You do not need these kinds of issues - I wager they're going to love and recognize you, your view and reviews, sexuality and understandings.

Because it just wasn't funny....I'm sorry, but that question wasn't funny. It was thinly-disguised hostility masquerading as humor and as subtle as a train wreck. Hey, where's my thumbs down?
Edit: Get what? That the word gay can mean both homosexual and happy? Well, how about this: Can you stop being dumb? Do you get that? Isn't that funny? You know, dumb as in stupid and also dumb as in mute -- get it? Huh, get it? This is what I hate about this place...some little jerk gets to question my intelligence because I didn't like his stupid joke!

The reason nobody laughed at the joke was because it wasn't funny. I think whoever came up with it forgot the punch line.
Is it just me or are Christians are comically challenged?

Because it seems that not one of them finds George Carlin funny, but 99.99% of Atheists do.
Yeah, I think it was a bit too, um, er...what did you call it...subtle.

Well, I just took a quick look, and the first three answers all joked back. It's called banter.

Because they don't. They're pissed that they have to read their bible for fun and go to boring services and sing boring songs about a boring book.

Occasionally you'll find a licorice jellybean but you have to put up with dozens of other flavors before then.
